Pokémon card scanner
Scan a Pokémon card and confirm the exact printing
Point your phone camera at a card, or upload photos. BinderLens reads the card, suggests matches from its catalog of English Pokémon cards, and saves the one you confirm to your Binder. It runs in the browser, with no app install.
How a scan works
- Capture both sides. Photograph the front and back. Good light and a flat card give the best match.
- Review the matches. BinderLens reads the name and collector number and ranks catalog candidates. If the right card is missing, search or enter it manually.
- Confirm the exact card and printing. Nothing is saved as a match until you confirm it. If you cannot tell the printing apart, choose Not sure; the estimate is then marked with lower confidence.
- Add condition detail (optional). Add close-ups of corners, edges, or surface issues, and measure centering.
- Save to your Binder. The card, photos, and notes are saved on your device, with optional account sync, so you can review, grade, trade, or sell later.
Limitations
- A scan identifies a card; it is not a professional grade. Photo-based condition ranges are experimental and not validated against graded outcomes.
- Printings that look alike (reverse holo, stamped, first edition, and similar) need your confirmation. The photo alone may not settle it.
- The catalog covers English Pokémon cards. Some promos and very new sets may be incomplete.
- Camera scanning needs browser camera permission; you can upload photos instead.
After you scan
Each catalog card has a public page with its raw Near Mint estimate, confidence, price history, and any graded values. See how values are calculated, or check whether grading a copy makes financial sense.
